Added note: Can anyone tell me the name of the anime in the first post of the thread .. the picture doesn't have the name in a way I can look it up. I was looking for yuri shows to watch before and I couldn't find any, but that looks promising.

I think it's Kannazuki no Miko, but I've never seen it myself (and heard it wasn't that great as a show).

Don't worry. It's awesomeness sauce. If you can tolerate MECHAS like many of us(don't know how you can't), I think you will have a blast. Its gets better near the end.

I've only seen two yuri shows, Yuru Yuri and Strawberry Panic. But, yuri isn't really my favourite genre... for some reason I just can't get into it the way I can with yaoi, so i'd have to say that Yuru Yuri was my favourite. It was cute, had like .. little hints of yuri in it, and it was funny and light I like those kinds of shows from time to time.

Aoi hana is just great.
I have a soft spot for Strawberry Panic as well.

Disappointing, to me.
Also, this one isn't yuri, this one is actually just shoujo ai.
Shoujo ai is softcore. Just girls obviously loving other girls, very friendly. But no kissing, or anything like that. Maybe some hugging.
Yuri, hardcore. Kissing, obviously girls being in love with girls, BUT these girls actually do something about it.

If Sasameki Koto continued, I think it would turn into yuri.
Season 1 was damn slow unfortunatly, but I liked it.
I should read the manga :P

Actually, the term "shoujo ai" is made up by the American fanbase (as opposed to "shounen-ai" which is actually coined by the Japanese fanbase). No lie. A yuri fan girl (who's done her research) from one of my MAL clubs clarified that for me. If you have any doubts or confusion (like I did), let me know right away and I'll link her page on a PM (assuming she'll give me the ok).

I don't know what their qualifications were, but that list seems highly inaccurate. Also, I'm surprised Manabi Straight didn't make it on to there, considering some of the stuff in the lower categories.

Well it is created by one person and it relays on his opinion. You can always comment on it and suggest adding Manabi Straight to the list.

Or maybe he can just try the "other" list.

Pretty much this. Then again, I've only seen like 3-4 yuri theme series in my life so

Strawberry Panic was very good. Best i know of. Sasameki went much further than the anime but I got the feeling if I went past the anime it would not be at Panic's level, but it seemed like it would be good to me.
